FWIW I think voter ID is a great thing, but I don’t think the GOP and me agree what that means. I think all citizens should get an official ID when they are 18 and this defines their right to vote. This solves many problems, including how to prove who you are, but that is not the GOP’s goal

I considered a lightning but found waiting for a model I did not want to begin with a showstopper

Anecdotally EV/Hybrid trucks are becoming common in China, and Ford (as well as most US Automakers) pissed away the last 5 years with half-hearted efforts like the Lightning. BYD has a hybrid in production that’ll get 45mpg (real world) and that doubles the MPG an F 150 ICE has

He has one, just doesn’t own it

Setting aside all the rest of the argument, as someone who grew up around cowboys (the all-cowboy-no-hat type) I find calling this bunch of commercial real estate wheeler-dealers “cowboys” about as off as one can be

Both can be true

I misread this as “doesn't think as clearly as *I* should”

Gotta give her and Weiss both credit for their utterly shameless profiting off her husband’s death

I think both Kirk and Reiner personified aspects of America. Reiner embodied that which we hold admirable, Kirk that which appeals to our ugly impulses

Is it a battle of ideas when someone threatens you with harm? I think that is just a battle for power and control.

This is a strawman argument claiming that the goals of the participants are the same

“sh*t happens” = “make America great again”

Thanks, Eric, I woulda missed this.

O&G upstream always does better under Democratic presidents, but it is something Hamm and his ilk are unable to objectively see and instead wave away. WTI has lost 18% in the last year and, as you note, Hamm inadvertently helped cause this.

This military effort does not seem well thought through, frankly. Reading this piece, it is obvious it is only a matter of time before something tragic at scale will occur. The official rationale is laughable, and the most likely reason (regime change) also not smart

Among other things, this man is a fool

I am also, and need both hands to track the number of people (1 deg separation or less) I know who were subject to a shooting

“sh*t happens” = “make America great again”

He’s not the best of us, but he is the best the GOP has to offer

When Bovino becomes jailable, he is going to be jailed. And he needs to be jailed now.

This is exactly what Machiavelli noted in Livy as the cause the collapse of Rome…except where “woke” = corruption from wealth, the rise of powerful individuals and the undermining of republican institutions

That is untrue. She was Mesa County Clerk & Recorder, which is what makes her crimes heinous
December 13, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Agreed. Also don’t like the framing as “reject” when it is plainly “ignore” or “dismiss”
December 13, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Aaannd another left!

So, what’s the punishment?
December 13, 2025 at 7:47 PM
If you give the full 8 of 8 for the “evidenced-based critical reaction” (aka evidence) she still only gets a 12%

Only God will help you with a grade like that
